West Indies and South Africa are all set for a three-match T20I series after two matches of the purest form of the game. All the T20I matches will be played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba and it would be interesting to see how the pitch will behave in the first game of the series.

The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium is generally on the slower side and is two-paced in nature. Batters will have to apply themselves to score big, and the team winning the toss would most likely bat first. The pacers have taken more wickets at the venue, and if they keep their lines and lengths stump-to-stump, they are likely to get more success.

Average First Innings Score In T20Is At The Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba

The average first innings total at the venue is just 128 which means that we would most probably not see a high-scoring match despite many power-hitters in both the teams. 

However, there was one T20I game between West Indies and England where the visitors smashed 267 while batting first, and if the same kind of pitch is dished out for the first T20I, it would be quite a thrilling watch.
